Suggest A Good Read...


Recommended Posts

iv read atlas shrugged. and the fountainhead. both by ayn rand.

 

they are not easy reads but if youre patient and appreciate "think" books then youre gonna like them.

 

on the other hand, if youre in the mood for a thriller, mystery type read, try the rule of four. its really :cool:

 

im also reading (at the same time as rule of four), lemony snickett's 8th book as well as cryptonomicron ... both are quite interesting as well. 

 

 

meron din palang ibang tao na nagbabasa ng more than one book at the same time. akala ko ako lang.

 

para di OT, whenever i have nothing to read, i always come back to my all time favorite, the catcher in the rye.

41 songs by Nick Hornby

I don't know most of the songs listed and I tend to question his choice of those that I know but Hornby states his case about the power of great songs convincingly.

 

Killing Bono by Neil Mc Cormick

U2 chased the rock and roll dream and reached the stars. Neil Mc Cormick, a close friend of the band, did the same but ended in the muck instead. This is his story.

 

The Motorcycle Diaries by Che Guevara

This book chronicles the young Guevara's misadventures across South America and doubles as a travelogue.

ganun? haha bravo bravo! :thumbsupsmiley: two books at a time lang ako, and even then, minsan lang nangyari un...hehe im not really your fast reader type... i tend to internalize and visialize every description the author makes of a situation too much... minsan nga i stop reading and try drawing it on paper para makita ko ng maigi... hehehe weird no? thays why i try to stay away from suspense thrillers, not that i dont like them, kaya lang they're so fast paced, i tend to brush through intricate details just to find out who the culprits are...hehe

ang disadvantage lang napapabagal ang pagbasa ko.

 

im a fast reader kasi but when i shift books ... i have to backread a bit lalo for involved stories like a suitable boy.

 

yun lemony snickett... lol dredrecho na lang yun... actually im almost done with that one... i wont add a fourth book muna because cryptonomicron is sobrang madetalye...

 

yeah i know what you mean bout visualizing... ako naman i write parang mind maps... un central idea asa gitna tapos un mga events surrounding it are arranged all round the middle... bsta parang outline of sorts...

 

hahaha madaya ka magbasa ng thrillers :P

is this the same person who wrote about a boy?

 

yes. hornby wrote "about a boy" and also "high fidelity"--an equally wonderful book.

 

try getting a copy of "a heartbreaking work of staggering genius". just finished it. it's awesome.
